Can't get OnHealingItemUse hook to work

I'm new, forgive me.

I'm trying to use OnHealingItemUse(HeldEntity item, BasePlayer target), but it's not working for me. I know I'm doing something wrong.

I'm trying to do something like this:

void OnCollectiblePickup(Item item, BasePlayer player) {
executeQuery("INSERT INTO player_gather_resource (player, resource, count, date) VALUES (@0, @1, @2, @3)" +
"ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE count = count + " + item.amount, player.userID, item.info.displayName.english, item.amount, getDateTime());
}

but for insert when food or meds are used.

How would I achieve this for food? Is OnHealingItemUse the right hook to use? I'm looking to write to the database to show when meds of food is used.

 

Try:

Code:

void OnConsumableUse(Item item)
{
    Puts("OnConsumableUse works!");
}

 

Thank you.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to limit the database writes to situations where players are interacting with food and meds.

oid OnConsumableUse(Item item) {
executeQuery("INSERT INTO player_consume (player_id, consumable, date) VALUES (@0, @1, @2)", item.info.displayName.english, getDateTime());
}

Anything I try to reference player it says "The name `player' does not exist in the current context" which I get. Apparently this hook doesn't work with the player, but there must be a way to get that info.

How do I grab the current player info and link it to the hook?

 

Again, I'm new forgive me.

I see item.info.displayName.english will give me the name of the item being consumed, but what are the other options for item? For instance, the person holding item. How do I find all of these variables like item.info.displayName.english? Are they listed somewhere I'm not seeing?

 

Is there any way in this situation to get information about the active player who is consuming the item?

 

Code:

void OnHealingItemUse(MedicalTool tool, BasePlayer targetPlayer)
{           
    BasePlayer player = tool.GetOwnerPlayer();     // The player who is holding the item          
}       

^ Works fine for getting the player who is holding the item. I'd assume GetOwnerPlayer would work in OnConsumableUse also

 

Thanks!

So here's what I tried:

void OnConsumableUse(Item item) {
BasePlayer player = tool.GetOwnerPlayer(); // The player who is holding the item
excuteQuery("INSERT INTO player_consume (player_id, consumable, date) VALUES (@0, @1, @2)", ((BasePlayer)entity).userID, item.info.displayName.english, getDateTime());
}

But it has an issue with ((BasePlayer)entity).userID

I get:

Error while compiling MStats.cs(229,108): error CS0103: The name `entity' does not exist in the current context

Am I referencing BasePlayer correctly or is it not there to reference?

 

With all due respect, that seems like a smarty pants answer to me, but not smart enough to help me further killyou's answer.

What I don't know yet, since I'm new, is what BasePlayer gives me back in this situation.

((BasePlayer)entity).userID doesn't exist as a variable - at least I deduce that's what you're suggesting. However, doesn't BasePlayer player = tool.GetOwnerPlayer(); declare the player as a variable and give me access to it's properties? or do I have to declare everything individually?

If so, how might I declare the userID?

Is there any documentation you can refer me to? I don't see anything on BasePlayer on this site, but maybe I missed it.

 

Thank you Wulf. That is very helpful!
